The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[Mister Agenda]

He's Becoming More And More Irrelevant

Trump previously attempted to strong-arm Congress into doing what it would take to pass the SAVE Act by refusing to sign another bill, the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, into law until his priority bill was passed. The ROAD Act was designed to address housing affordability concerns, prompting some Republicans to fume over Trump blocking legislative wins that could give the GOP goodwill with midterm voters.

Now, however, Trump's tactic has fallen apart, The Hill explained in a new report, as the ROAD Act automatically became law on Saturday due to a provision in the Constitution that allows bills to take effect after 10 days without action from the president if they pass in both chambers of Congress.

The duck is limping.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he thought it wouldn't become law if he didn't sign it.
